[elephant-devel] slot-exists-p / slot-exists-p-using-class

[Waldo Rubinstein]

How about releasing 0.6.0.rc1 instead? It just doesn't fly well with  
me the fact that a new release is coming out with known bugs. I  
understand your point. The question is, like Ian asked, is it worth  
fixing this bug or re-engineering to closer-to-mop.
